Tuesday, July 12, 2022 Good - Good Creek - Basswood We all wake up early, feeling refreshed and recharged, to find a nice sunny day awaiting us. After breakfast we break camp, and load up our gear with Basswood in mind. The campsite at the narrows of Good was a great site for our group! We paddle Good Creek into Hoist Bay. On the way we have to pull over a beaver dam.

Once on Hoist Bay, we paddle over to check out the submerged logging equipment. With the water levels, it isn't hard to locate the cab of an old peice of machinery.

Joel catches a nice small mouth bass while we are in the area.

As we paddle through the motor boat area of Basswood, we begin to worry if we'll find a site that isn't occupied today. We notice several motor boats fishing, and all of the sites within the motor use area are occupied. We are excited to find a great site just north of the motor area and decide to make it home for the night. We stay on the middle site on the northeast side of Washington Island. It has great views of the lake on 3 sides, several tent pads, and plenty of hammock hangs. There is a great area for swimming too on the west side of the site. About the time we get camp set up, it decides to rain for about an hour, then clears off to sunny skies again. We fish most of the afternoon, and continue to catch more fish.

We make fish taco's for dinner. Joel talks about brining Taco Bell hot sauce packets for fish taco's next year.
